The bases folder is by default a subfolder of the GeneWeb distribution named bases that contains all your personnal data: the genealogical databases themselves with their notes, images, authentification files, template personalisation, etc. It can be moved or renamed according to your preferences.

In each of its etc, images, lang and src folders, subfolders carrying the name of the base mybase hold the specific data for each base.

distribution: details all the other files and subfolders out of bases folder, like the programs or template files.

Bases folder in GeneWeb 7

This section of the documentation is not yet fully implemented. The current version of GeneWeb v7 adheres to the old folder structure.

GeneWeb 7 simplifies the archival of databases regrouping all the files needed for a single database under the same folder. With this configuration, it becomes far simpler to use archival tools such as tar, zip or rar to store a single database folder in an archive (see save for details and comments).

Translations: All text files read through the m=SRC&v=file or m=DOC&s=file.txt commands are processed by GeneWeb which expands some macros (%s,%v, %i, %k) and performs translations ([text to be translated]). In addition, a more global translation of the text file can be obtained by appending _lg to the filename (where lg is the 2 letter acronym of a given language) which selects an entirely new file, specific to the selected language.

Files names in italic are user chosen. tags.txt is provided with its full path.

Note that with this configuration, all personnalization happens in files stored in the base folder. A new release of GeneWeb may be installed safely by copying the new gw folder and possibly new copies of gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, CHANGES.txt, README, etc (the last two lines of the tree above).
